CrossRoads reviews

If you are considering spending your hard earned money on a Crossroads RV..DON'T BOTHER! My wife and I did just that in 2016. There is no quality control at the Crossroads facility. We received our camper with a bathroom door that popped open when travelling. This was due to a huge bulge in the vertical wood frame. Cupboard doors so badly installed it seems they were done by a 3 year old. The best part is the rear axle had been bent and the rear wheels were tilted outward. Nobody will fix that. Our dealer told me they can't warranty the bent axle until the tires show damage. I guess only seeing that it is bent is not enough. Several of the exterior clearance lights were installed but not connected to the wiring. The fresh water suction hose to pump was kinked. I will have to undertake some thermal scans this summer and determine how much insulation is missing in the ceiling and walls as the AC runs continuously even though it is dropping air temp 12 deg. F. Of course our dealer said, "Some campers are just like that." Both Crossroads and our dealer got what they wanted....our money. Neither of them will ever see another dime. These con men also offer a 2 year warranty which was a selling point for us. A 2 year warranty is useless when nobody will fix anything. We have been ripped off both by Crossroads and our dealer.

One star because that is as low as it will allow. We purchased this brand new in July 2021 and have one issue after another. We live in it full time so taking it for service every time is not feasible and we have to use mobile repair services, pay up front and wait for reimbursement. After the first three months we noted water coming in under the baseboard between two of the slideout. A week later the dishwasher turned itself on and we could not get it to turn off - we had never used the dishwasher. The next morning we noticed water coming from under the island. We decided to just take out the dishwasher and use the space for storage. We found that one of the water fittings was faulty. A week later we again noted water under the island - this time we just replaced the fitting ourselves. The trim on the ceiling fell down. The light globe fell out of the ceiling fan/light and shattered. The shower wall came unglued and has a bulge in the wall. A brace under the recliner fell off and resulted in a tear in the flooring. Two months ago we found water in the storage compartment - again faulty fittings in the compartment. A month ago we noted that the hydraulic jacks were leaking oil. The mobile mechanic told us all 6 of the seals are bad and need replaced. Last week the sliding drawer in one of the cupboards fell off as it was not attached to the side walls very well. Today I went to cook dinner and have found that the igniter has gone out - this is not even used on a daily basis. The heat/massage/lights in one of the recliners frequently stop working. It is just my husband and I and we take very good care of things. If I could go back in time I would not buy a new RV. I would spend my money elsewhere. This has been a nightmare. The warranty company just says to take it in to a dealer - which we cannot do as it is our residence. Then you have to fight with them to attempt to get them to cover anything.

My specific open lay-out is met in this unit. Roomy with abundant windows and modern interior colors. The issues have been with factory quality. It was rush built or the employees lack in skills. Obviously Managers are not checking the work either. Our rv had minor issues but alot of them. Most have been resolved.

The Good: We love the floor plan of this RV. It's very roomy with opposing slides in the den area and an island bar in the adjoining kitchen. There is a good amount of storage space. The essential areas - bed and kitchen - are accessible when the slides are retracted, so you don't have to deploy the slides if you're overnighting in a parking lot. We really like the outdoor kitchen and will probably never buy another RV without one. The outdoor kitchen also features a swivel for the TV, so you don't have to drag a TV outside. The Bad: The front cap was painted with a non-UV-resistant paint. This is a commonly known factory defect that is frequently discussed on the Crossroads forum. It faded terribly after only two years. We decided to have it repainted because it looked so bad (not cheap). Recently, both back corners of the coach rotted out. There was no obvious culprit from the outside. The RV tech who repaired it said the factory had failed to seal a key area on both sides of the trailer. Our skylights are due for replacement since they became brittle and now have numerous leaking cracks. All the furniture had to be replaced and the dinette had to be reupholstered (not cheap either) because the fake leather - "pleather" - began to peel terribly after year six. When I do repairs or maintenance and access the hidden areas of the camper, you can tell the overall workmanship is shoddy. The wiring looks like a rat's nest, access holes are haphazardly raggedly cut, screws are mislocated - all telltale signs of "throwing them together as fast as possible." Will I buy another Crossroads? No. We were seduced by the floor plan and beauty, but were also burned by the considerable amount of money we've spent to keep it in good repair.

After several trailers we were in the market for a 1/2 ton, couples trailer. Got all the way down to just two units. Cougar 22mls or Crossroads 253rb. ad to have a king bed, good bathroom/shower and the outdoor kitchen was the deciding edge over the Cougar. Very happy with the quality of our unit. No issues of any kind with 5 trips under our belt. By far the best couples unit we have seen anywhere. Upgrades we did. Dometic 320 potty, upgraded door window with shade, Fantastic fan and cover to replace the 4" fart fan, electronic door lock set

Me and my wife got this camper and nothing but troubles from day one . This camper has leaked from day one they cut the skylight hole over the shower to big the day it was made and then just filled it with caulking leaked first trip out . We though we had a great one before this and now wish never looked at cross road we are now replacing floors . Hope no one buyes one of these .

Cheap O’ POS camper! DO NOT BUY ZINGER RVs! Mine has been nothing but a big ol’ money pit to sink money into. Came with 3 yr structural warranty. BS! Within first year, axle breaks - $1500. Repair. Within 1 more year, second axle breaks- $1300. Repair. Both paid out of pocket. Turns out faulty wiring caused breaks to stay engaged, overheating axle causing structural failure two times. Doesn’t help when dealer installs wheels so loose after bearing pack that you can wiggle them back and forth and they clang against the drum.. Slide out and cap leaking from day one! Siding bulging while driving because it not secured properly, two attempts to repair, finally blew hole in side of camper while towing, had to about have an aneurysm to get it covered under warranty. Siding still building while towing. Intermittent water leaks under kitchen sink by water heater, doors don’t set well and light shines thru cracks, laminate floor peeling up! Camper is now past 3 yr warranty. I was almost eligible for lemon law in my state, but thanks to COVID shutting down the world, this POS sat in storage for the 3rd year while the warranty expired. Boy did the dealer and Manf. Get lucky, while I’m here stuck with a $30k piece of garbage! Hind sight really is 20/20 folks. Feeling a bit trapped deciding if it would be better to just take the credit hit for 7 yrs or continue plunging money into this worthless POS. Do yourself a favor, don’t shave years off of your life stressing over constant fails and repairs, stay far away from Zinger branded RVs and Campers,

Purchased the Volante FB32 spring 22. This is second rv I ve owned in relatively short time. First was a forest river DB19XL. Needed more room so we shopped for an upgrade. . I was blown away by the features and floor plan. Plenty room. Lightweight for its size. Pulls pretty dang good behind my 6.2 Gas F250. Travel trailers smaller in size weighed more than this one. I will say initial quality is pretty good. Everything works as it should. I had problems with the forest river in initial workmanship and did find two things on this unit as well. We shall see how this one does after a couple years of on and off wknd use. It's by far the best laid out floor plan I've seen offered. I did notice a teeny tiny stress Crack in fiberglass outside by vent while inspecting it. Also one of the ceiling wood seam straps might have been missing a tack. I believe all campers have some workmanship issues. I could nit pick all of them I looked at while shopping and find something wrong. I think it's the nature of what they are. If you are a bit of a handy man and don't mind tightening things time to time the campers are alright . My advice is use the hell out of it in the first year so you find all the bugs and they can be covered by mfr. Warranty. Time will tell how my Volante does but 2 weeks along so far and Love it. I would recommend a Volante for comfort appearance towability floor plan layout classy appearance inside and out functionability and over all ergonomics of comfort. I only put one star for factory warranty support because I cannot rate them yet as I ve not had to address anything through the factory yet.

We purchased our 5th wheel from Boat and RV in Hamburg (since that they have went out of business). We have had nothing but issues after issue with the camper. It’s been in the shop almost more than not. Some of the issues we had/have; leveling system didn’t work, roller under the bed tore flooring, awning arms broke. awning pulling away from camper, wall coming apart, inverter don’t charge the batteries, sofa broken, kitchen slide hits island when closed, rear bumper was pulling away from unit are to mention a few. Camping World purchased the dealership and and we are still fighting to get the issues resolved.

I had a great experience with this Redwood. It towed like a dream. I love the fact that it has full body paint because it is so easy to keep clean and didn’t have to worry about stickers peeling. The outside storage area is really nice also. We loved the floor plan for many reasons. The bedroom has 2 slides making it roomy for two, closest and built in dressers gave us lots of space for our clothes. My wife loved that she could turn the tv and watch it while cooking. This trailer has so much storage compared to the ones we’ve had in the past. The high ceilings gives you the feel of not being cramped in a trailer. I would recommend a Redwood 5th wheel to anyone.
